There’s no destination I love packing for more than a beach. It’s the perfect excuse to pull out all of my favorite summer things, including tropical little handbags, chic caftans, and raffia everything. It’s the beach jewelry, though, that I love the most – think: statement-making seashells, wooden bangles, artful necklaces strung with beads, and all the fish-motifs one can handle. They’re a nod to the locale (love a theme!) and, really, the exclamation points to a look. 

Note: Beach baubles do not require a trip to the beach. Summer is excuse enough! From starfish and shells to freshwater pearls and more, there’s no shortage of island-inspired extras. Below, a peek (click to shop!) at my current favorites.
